tomtom go, tomtom pda maps

before I had a 500 I owned a pda with tomtom installed on it.

I sold the pda and GPS unit, but for some reason kept the software.
The software had all the european maps for the PDA, now as summer is coming and a trip to europe is likely and I have no proper europe stuff on the 500, is it possible for me to install the maps from those disks to the go or do I have to buy them specifically for the 500?

Thanks in advance, this should help me avoid digging around the loft unneccessarily Twisted Evil

Thanks.

If they are V5 maps it should be OK. If they are older version, then they won't work. You will need a bigger SD Card to be able to get the extra maps on.

do I just connect via usb and install, or is there something else?

Yes. The PC will see the 500 as a Removable Device. Install the Maps from the CD's.

ok, well I managed to install them, thanks!

Now I notice on the TomTom website that it lists these maps at only 40 odd percent coverage in CH, whereas on the newer units they are 99%
can I buy and install the maps rather than buying a new unit?

Do you mean the Maps on the x10 series Devices?

If so, I would imagine that these will become available (according to rumour) in the next few weeks.
